Oregon
(14-2, 3-1 Pac-10) (Pablo=10)
Upcoming matches with:
California and Stanford (Home)
UCLA and USC (LA)
This is do or die time for Oregon with respect to national polls. They've yet to really be tested and pass.

I see the match against Cal as the most important one. They need to win that one to get into the top 5 of the Pac Ten.
If they could pull any of the others, it would just be gravy.

Wow how bout that schedule! A normal Pac-10 schedule. No mystery why they are battle-tested by the time they get to the NCAA. |

Not everyone plays those teams over the course of 4 consecutive matches. And not every team is paired with Oregon State as a travel partner.

But I will concede the point about travel partners. Stanford, Cal, USC and UCLA are fortunate that opponents have to prepare for a pair of tough matches when they visit or are visited (unlike Washington's opponents). |

Oregon goes 1-3. Beats Cal at home, outside shot at USC, who I just don't think is that good.

Well props to Arizona and Oregon rising their games this season and not giving those California teams an easy weekend. This truly proves that the PAC 10 is hard to play in every weekend.

Congrads to Oregon for making noise on the national level. That new coach has really turned that program around. I say everyone in the Pac-10 conferance is very much so beatable except Stanford at this point. The California teams will have to play up to their rankings against Oregon and shouldn't be taken lightly....

Look what he did at KSU. I'd say he's at least 2 for 3.

oregon is good this year even after losing their big gun, props to Jim Moore. But as i said in a previous post they will be even better next year as they will return their entire lineup with more experience. i feel bad though for all the PAC 10 teams, stanford returns 5 starters next year and could run the table.

With teams like Stanford and Washington that get better and don't seem to lose a lot of talent, you got to feel bad for the bottom Pac-10 like Oregon's rival Oregon State teams who are just trying to improve but in such a hard league. I do got give props to Oregon for showing a LOT of improvement from two years ago.
